But Solomon was building his owne house thirteene yeres, and he finished all his house.

Hee built also the house of the forrest of Lebanon; the length thereof was a hundred cubites, and the breadth thereof fiftie cubites, and the height thereof thirtie cubites, vpon foure rowes of Cedar pillars, with Cedar beames vpon the pillars.

And it was couered with Cedar aboue vpon the beames, that lay on fortie fiue pillars, fifteene in a row.

And there were windowes in three rowes, and light was against light in three rankes.

And all the doores and postes were square, with the windowes: and light was against light in three rankes.

And he made a porch of pillars, the length thereof was fiftie cubites, and the breadth thereof thirtie cubites: and the porch was before them: and the other pillars, and the thicke beame were before them.

Then hee made a porch for the throne where he might iudge, euen the porch of Iudgement: and it was couered with Cedar from one side of the floore to the other.

And his house where he dwelt, had another court within the porch, which was of the like worke: Solomon made also an house for Pharaohs daughter, ( whom he had taken to wife) like vnto this porch.

All these were of costly stones, according to the measures of hewed stones, sawed with sawes, within and without, euen from the foundation vnto the coping, and so on the outside toward the great court.

And the foundation was of costly stones, euen great stones; stones of ten cubites, and stones of eight cubites.

And aboue were costly stones (after the measures of hewed stones) and Cedars.

And the great court round about, was with three rowes of hewed stones, and a row of Cedar beames, both for the inner court of the house of the Lord, and for the porch of the house.
